Suárez, Mauricio; Pandiella, Susana; Benegas, Julio – Physics Education, 2023
A quasi-experimental group comparison experiment was conducted to improve the conceptual learning of rotational kinematics by 11th grade students of a technically-oriented high school in Argentina. The experimental instruction complemented the original Tutorials in Introductory Physics activities with the PhET simulation Ladybug Revolution.…

Karen Ho; Yen Luong; Carl Sherwood; Douglas B. Clark – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Many students find introductory general chemistry courses difficult because they feel alienated by traditional approaches to teaching and learning. This can become particularly problematic in laboratory sessions where students simply follow processes and procedures that students can view as being mundane and lacking creativity. Contextualised…

Qianqian Gao; Mingwen Tong; Jia Sun; Chao Zhang; Yuxin Huang; Si Zhang – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2025
The blended synchronous classroom fosters equitable and balanced educational development; however, challenges persist, including low motivation and suboptimal effects on the deep learning of remote students. This study employs a student-centered learning approach and incorporates the process-oriented guided inquiry learning (POGIL) strategy into…

Weigel, Emily G.; Angra, Aakanksha – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
In the information age, the acquisition of data literacy skills has become increasingly important for undergraduate student success, yet these skills are not emphasized in the lecture setting. Here we present a study to inspire educators to scaffold graph knowledge and interpretation into their classrooms. Specifically, we sought to understand how…

Rogers, Ben – Primary Science, 2021
There is a tradition in primary classes of using rich authentic activities to teach science. The idea of pupils learning science through experiment and discovery is appealing. But this is not how children are taught in other subjects. When children learn to read, there are tiny steps, mastering each one before moving onto more challenging books.…

Miriam J. Rhodes; Adrie J. Visscher; Hanno van Keulen; Martine A. R. Gijsel – European Journal of STEM Education, 2024
This systematic literature review presents a review of the effects of integrated language arts, science and technology (ILS&T) instruction, with an inquiry- or design-based pedagogy, in elementary schools on student achievement. To this end, an overview of the characteristics of the 19 included studies and their interventions is first…

William C. Beckerson; Jennifer Anderson; Siddhesh Kulkarni; John Perpich; Deborah R. Yoder-Himes – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
Active learning is the new standard for teaching in higher education. As more faculty seek to expand their teaching practices by including active-learning activities that promote higher levels of learning, many are doing so in small doses by temporarily postponing traditional lectures in favor of group activities. While there is evidence…

Paola Go´mez Buitrago; Hendrys Tobar-Mun~oz; Danny Arteaga – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
In response to the great challenge that the teaching of basic sciences currently entails in the new generations of young people and seeking to awaken the interest of our students in chemistry and its areas of influence, we developed an innovative card game named "Amino-structure" which served as a key tool to implement an active learning…

Zizah Estuning Erinaa; Herawati Susilo; Deny Setiawan – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2025
Collaboration skills are closely related to cognitive learning outcomes. Learning made by collaborating can improve students' understanding of the material, so that student learning outcomes are maximized. Cognitive learning outcomes of students in class X-I SMA Negeri 1 Turen on Virus material show low results with an average score of 56 and…

Wei-Zhao Shi; Chunying Zuo; Jingying Wang – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Previous research has shown that in prehigher education stages, inquiry-based teaching is not sufficient for forming a mature understanding of the nature of science (NOS). However, there is relatively little research conducted on colleges. Inquiry-based teaching should not overlook cognitive frameworks, as students' limited scientific reasoning…

Senay Özen Altinkaynak; Devrim Erginsoy Osmanoglu; Tufan Inaltekin; Arzu Kirman Bilgin; Selma Erdagi – British Journal of Special Education, 2025
It is crucial for students with learning disabilities (SLDs) to possess psychological resilience in order to pursue their careers as entrepreneurial individuals. One of the areas where entrepreneurship skills are taught in middle school is in science courses. This shows the importance of teaching psychological resilience in science courses. On the…

Eley, Alison – Primary Science, 2022
There is broad agreement in the literature (e.g. Furtak et al., 2012; Harlen and Qualter, 2018) that the purpose of primary science is for children to develop: (1) scientific skills; (2) knowledge and understanding of some scientific concepts; (3) positive attitudes to science; an understanding of the nature of science; and (4) an appreciation of…

Cooper, Katelyn M.; Schinske, Jeffrey N.; Tanner, Kimberly D. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
A key tenet of the nature of science is that "knowledge, although reliable and durable, is never absolute or certain" and is subject to change with the accrual of new bodies of evidence (Lederman "et al." 2002). Similarly, pedagogical choices grounded in scientific teaching would also be expected to be modified, refined, and…

Muhammad Zulfadhli Kamarudin; Mohd Syafiq Aiman Mat Noor; Romarzila Omar – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: Since the turn of the 21st century, research on an inquiry-based approach in science education has increasingly been geared towards the integration of technology, primarily focused on secondary and tertiary education. Thus far, no study has reviewed research on a technology-integrated, inquiry-based approach in the specific context of…

Long, Haiying; Gao, Su; Yang, Luxi; Chen, Jin – Psychology in the Schools, 2022
This study focuses on the effectiveness of two types of teaching practices (i.e., inquiry-based and teacher-directed) on students' science achievement, an ongoing contentious issue in science education. It examined the direct and indirect effects of the two types of teaching practices, enjoyment of science, and students' science achievement with…
